Your post are ridiculous. You can fits a week’s shopping on a scooter easily. Rider can put some up the front with him and you with a couple of bags on the back. I’m becoming increasingly convinced that you are a doddering old lady 👵 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm not from that description - under 50, super fit, great condo, affluent and they are on elite too?? Super fit I doubt. It’s not your condo. Affluence only coming out of your mouth and Elite is for idiots unless you got in at the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaiyaTH Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I don't get this entire debate about water and groceries. I just bought this automatic water pump and then order 5 of those large water things that last quite a while, they are delivered and I have a small plastic mover with wheels to the elevator for this job. I do the same with grocery deliveries. What is left to buy always fits on the motorbike and backpack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between you and me is i don't preach about my way. If you live in a 22sqm condo and you are happy then i'm happy for you! What i get snappy about is 'my way is the best and only way' crowd. Yes some affluent people eat at central, but you wouldn't know it... Lies. You ‘preach’ constantly about how much you pay for your apartment(in order to distinguish yourself from the riff-raff) and now you are showing off your Elite package 🤦🏻♂️ That IS riff-raff! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My condo is 30 years old has none of those problems mentioned, in fact water pressure is so high I have to turn it down Reading the above maybe my ( also ) 30 year old sea facing condo , while not perfect , is not too bad and the maintenance costs reasonable.
